Sony DSC-P73 Manual

When shooting with the subject at the edge of 
the frame, or when using Center AF, the 
camera may focus on the center instead of on 
the subject at the edge of the frame. In a case 
like this, use AF lock to focus on the subject, 
and then recompose the picture and shoot.

Compose the shot so that the subject is 
centered in the AF range finder frame, and 
press the shutter button halfway down.
When the AE/AF lock indicator stops flashing 
and remains on, return to the fully composed 
shot, and press the shutter button fully down.

When you are using AF lock, you can 
capture an image with the correct focus even 
if the subject is at the edge of the frame.

You can carry out the AF lock adjustment 
process before you press the shutter button 
fully down.

When shooting an image using a previously 
set distance to the subject, or when shooting 
a subject through a net or through window 
glass, it is difficult to get the proper focus in 
auto focus mode. In these cases, use of the 
Focus preset is convenient.
